HINTS FOR A MILKMAN. 
There are some things it doesn’t pay to 
apologize for; one thing is a sediment in 
the bottom of the milk that floats around 
when the bottle is moved; another a stable 
or cowy odor. Better get out of the way 
quietly and go home, clean up the cows 
and utensils, and ventilate the barn. We 
got a cow the other day that had been 
kept in such a stable that even her body 
emitted that stale bad cowy odor that 
meant being kept for a long time in a 
dirty ill-ventilated stable. 
Do the cows know you when you come 
around, and look at you with pleasure and 
hold out their heads to lick your clothes 
with affection, or do their tails go up as 
well as their heads and they jump from 
side to side always to keep a weather eye 
on you because of fear? We prefer the 
former, and think there is more fun and 
money in them; costs less to keep the 
former kind and profits are greater. The 
difference is in the care and treatment. 
_ H. G. M- 
TRYING A NEW GRAIN FEED. 
Frank Ashton is a thrifty farmer near 
Middletown, Conn., and knows what he is 
doing. He has formed the habit, a good 
one, by the way, of weighing the milk 
daily and keeping a record of the same. 
For grain feed he uses exclusively a high- 
grade corn distillers’ grains that ana¬ 
lyses 35 per cent protein and 12 per cent 
fat. A while ago he was approached by 
one of the well-groomed, oily-tongued ad¬ 
vance agents of a feed that is widely ad¬ 
vertised, but not much is said about its 
contents except it’s one of the molasses 
feeds that are all the rage just now. 
This one, by the way, is made from brew¬ 
ers’ grains, molasses and ground corn¬ 
stalks, and has an analysis of 14 to 16 per 
cent protein and three per cent fat; not 
as good as bran middlings or mixed feed. 
Mr. Ashton fell under the spell of the 
tempter, but kept a string on him by- 
agreeing to take a ton of this feed at $26 
(which is much above its real value) on 
condition that the company made good to 
him at the market price for any milk loss 
while using the feed. Mr. Ashton weighed 
a week’s milk under his usual feed, and 
added up the figures Then he changed 
and fed the new feed for a week and add¬ 
ed up the returns. He returned to his 
former feed and added up the figures for 
a week’s milk, and adding first and third 
weeks’ milk together and dividing by two 
had a fair comparison for the week of the 
new feed. He found a shrinkage, and at 
the regular price of his milk sent a bill to 
the “company” for $28 and they sent him 
a check for that amount to make good 
the loss. Almost ever}’ day we see farm¬ 
ers carting home this feed, paying $26 
to $28 per ton for it, but they are not the 
kind who weigh their milk or have a very 
definite idea of what the}’ are really doing. 
Mr. Ashton’s experience has paid the 
slight increased cost of keeping a milk 
record for several years. Suppose you go 
and do likewise. If you haven’t sand 
enough to keep a daily record, at least 
weigh it night and morning for the fif¬ 
teenth, sixteenth and seventeenth days of 
each month, then place a cipher at the right 
of the three days’ milk and you have pret¬ 
ty near an accurate milk record.

Paying Hens. —I will send a report of the 
eggs I get for the month of .February and also 
for six months. The first 10 days of Febru¬ 
ary the 60 hens have laid 238 eggs, which 
I sold for $6.20 (five dozen at. 35 cents, the 
remainder at 30 cents). The food cost about 
$1.85 for the 10 days. In January 1 sold 
from these hens $14.15 worth of eggs. The 
food cost about $5.70. In December I sold 
$10.37 worth. The food cost about the same 
as in January. F. w. rochelle.

A IIen Record. —Since hen records are in 
order I send you one. Thirteen grade Leg¬ 
horns hatched in July, 1004. commenced 
to lay February 14. 1905, and up to February 
14, 1006, had laid 2,045 eggs. These hens 
are kept In the ordinary small house in a 
city back lot. their run contains the pile 
of manure thrown out from the horse stable, 
in which they are continually scratching. 
They are fed grain for breakfast and supper, 
corn, wheat, or cracked corn and oats, a 
warm mash for dinner, corn meal or bran, 
this always has salt and pepper in it: they 
have the refuse from the table, and shells and 
grit always before them. si. c. f.

A Big Difference 
One Mtnnte’s Washing as compared to 
at least fifteen. Wouldn't you like to save 
at least fourteen minutes twice a day? 
One minute with a cloth and brush cleans 
the absolutely simple Sharpies Dairy Tubular 
Cream Separator bowl shown in the upper 
picture. It takes fifteen minutes to half an hour 
with a cloth and something to dig out dents, 
grooves, corners and holes to clean other 
bowls—one of which is shown in lower picture.

Thick Cream 
SELLS FOR ONE CENT MORE PER POUND THAN THIN 
CREAM 
The creameries of the country have become so convinced of the increased 
value of thick cream over thin cream that many of them are paying one cent 
per pound more for cream testing 30 per cent, and over than for that testing 
under 30 per cent. 
The reasons for this are— 
First—Thick cream makes better butter because it contains 
less milk and therefore keeps in better condition. 
Second—Thick cream is so much less in quantity that the cost 
of transportation is less. 
It is much better for the dairyman to make thick cream 
because he has more skimmed milk left at home to feed 
calves—It then follows that dairymen should buy only such 
separators as can separate thick cream.

The u.s . Separators 
Lead the World in this particular 
Beware of the cheap and poorly constructed Separators that 
cannot make thick cream. They would be expensive even 
If furnished without cost.
